Best glue for AAE hybrid vanes

[Adam Gibbs]

What is my best bet for gluing AAE hybrid vanes to arrow wraps? I've always used blazers and superglue in the past but looking to try something different.

AAE Primer pen and either AAE fastset or the more expensive version. Personally, I prefer the fastset as it is more of a gel.

The primer pen is money. I use with every type of plastic fletching.

Loctite super glue has worked extremely well for me.

Blue cap Gorilla glue works awesome for me.

Here’s what I use.

It’s imperative to clean shaft and vein no matter what you use. Probably best to use aae primer pen but I use acetone.

The Maxx material requires the primer pen the hybrid does not I've had great luck with locktight impact glue

I don’t know how to grade best but in my experience this has been effective at keeping vanes on my arrow shaft:
Clean shaft>primer pen vane>loctite superglue>jig on shaft for 10-15 secs. Rinse repeat

Another vote for Gorilla blue cap. No need to prime the vane with the hybrids.

Ive always used AAE Max bond for my hybrids with out any problems.

If it requires the primer pen use it. You might find something that works but it’ll get brittle and strip vanes in a couple of months. If you use the primer and then their glue it’ll last forever. I have max stealth on arrows from 5 years and I can barely get them off with pliers and a razor.

I've never had adhesion issues following AAE's wipe, primer, glue process with and without wraps. I wouldn't deviate from the process just to save a few dollars.

I second Lytro. Never had an issue, no lost vanes. Instead of the primer I do comet bleach with a sponge>air dry>AAE MAX Bond and I'm good to go. Least favorite part of the whole process is making sure I've got my vanes the right distance from the back

After using the pen on the fletching I use locktight gel glue. You can put a nice beed on it and hold really good for me

 

[JBF92]

There are a variety of glues that will work, but keeping your shaft and vane clean is mandatory. The right amount of glue and pressure also matter. Depending on what Jig you have, it can be easy to screw up.

 

[Trial153]

First off. Don’t use primer on hybrids.
Secondly use max bond and call it a day. You won’t have any issues

 

[Aces11]

Like guys are saying, don’t use primer pen on hybrids. I just got a new pack of hybrids and there was a piece of paper in there that said do not use primer pen on hybrid vanes.

Sorry I don't use hybrid vanes I use the max stealth vanes

 

[wildbill34]

AAE Primer Pen and Max Bond have been like 99.9% effective for me

 

[jpiniewski]

Blue Cap Gorilla glue. I wipe both the vane and the arrow down with acetone. I used to ruff up the vane with light sandpaper a touch as well.

I have been struggling with getting good adhesion on AAE Max Stealth vanes. Got the AAE Primer pen and problem solved. The vanes are now super solid. Read somewhere else that with the AAE vanes the primer pen is a game changer. I’d have to agree. I clean vanes with alcohol, use the primer pen and a good gel super glue.
